thanks for the quick reply Terry-
that is the url i see in my address bar after hitting the Submit button (doing the post)
so, your second option :)
in FFox, i get the bad request page- but i just noticed at that using IE i can hit the Submit and nothing happens!
this is in the status bar when i hover the Submit button:
<%=Request.ServerVariables%5B%22SCRIPT_NAME%>
hope this helps...
